## Delivering Gas (Mission Makers & Zeus)

There are several ways to put gas on the map.

### Gas module (`kat_module_gas`)

The most direct method. In the editor it's under **Modules → KAT → "Create contaminated area / object"**, and the same module is available in **Zeus**.

* **Gas Type** dropdown:

  | Value | Label                          |
  | ----- | ------------------------------ |
  | 0     | Tear gas (Level 0)             |
  | 1     | Chlorine (Level 1) *(default)* |
  | 2     | Phosgene (Level 1)             |
  | 3     | Mustard gas (Level 2)          |
  | 4     | Sarin (Level 2)                |
  | 5     | VX (Level 2)                   |
* **Radius** — area size in metres (default 20).
* **IsSealable** — if synced to an object, allows the leak to be sealed with a sealant tube.

### Mortars (82 mm)

Load these single-round magazines into a player-crewed 82 mm mortar (`ACE_mortar_82mm`):

| Round                           | Agent              |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `KAT_1Rnd_82mm_Mo_Type0`        | Chlorine           |
| `KAT_1Rnd_82mm_Mo_Type0_Cluser` | Chlorine (cluster) |
| `KAT_1Rnd_82mm_Mo_TypeCS`       | CS / tear gas      |
| `KAT_1Rnd_82mm_Mo_Type2`        | Phosgene           |
| `KAT_1Rnd_82mm_Mo_Type3`        | Mustard            |
| `KAT_1Rnd_82mm_Mo_Type4`        | Sarin              |
| `KAT_1Rnd_82mm_Mo_Type5`        | VX                 |

Hand them out via the **`ACE_Box_82mm_Mo_Gas`** ammo box, which contains 8× chlorine, 8× chlorine cluster, 8× CS, and 4× each of phosgene, mustard, sarin, and VX.

{% hint style="info" %}
**AI mortar restriction:** AI-crewed mortars are deliberately limited to **choking agents only** (CS, chlorine, and chlorine cluster). Nerve and blister agents are restricted to deliberate, player-driven placement so the AI can't casually drop a sarin barrage.
{% endhint %}

### Other delivery

* **`KAT_M7A3`** — M7A3 hand-thrown CS gas grenade.
* **`KAT_Gas_TripWireMine_Mag`** — tripwire mine that releases gas when triggered.
* **CAS munitions** — `KAT_CAS_M43_*` laser-guided cluster bomb and `KAT_CAS_R_80mm_GAS_*` rocket pod, for aircraft loadouts.

## Mission Configuration (CBA Settings)

All of the below live under **CBA Settings → KAT - ADV Medical: Chemical**. Defaults are realistic; tune them to fit your mission's pace and lethality. Times are in seconds.

{% hint style="info" %}
**The one setting you'll most often change** is *Available CBRN Suit Uniforms*. It's an editbox of **quoted, comma-separated classnames**, e.g. `'U_C_CBRN_Suit_01_Blue_F','U_B_CBRN_Suit'`. Add the suits your loadout mods provide, or Level 2 agents will affect everyone wearing anything else.
